The Great Lakes region in Africa faces numerous challenges, yet much of the literature overlooks the socio-economic aspects of the region's daily lives. This book aims to bridge this information gap by examining the social, economic, and cultural dynamics of the population, as well as how they interact with political discourse, as critical factors for sustainable development. Drawing on empirical cases and examples from Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, and Uganda, the book analyzes key governance and development issues in the Great Lakes region, such as region-building and integration, social protection, inter-state relations, democracy and participation, and sustainability. Authored by an African scholar with extensive experience working with indigenous groups across over 34 African countries, this book is a valuable resource for students and scholars in international relations, political studies, sustainable development (social and economic), sociology, public policy and management, and public administration.
